There are many bloggers who only use 100% homemade recipes, 100% of the time. And I am just not that girl…that’s some hard work, yo! Sure, sometimes I am the queen of complicated and will actually savor the process of making a decadent layered cake from scratch…but sometimes I just need a big bite of deliciousness in my mouth in 15 minutes. And I don’t think that’s too much to ask for!

The dream of divine desserts in under 15 minutes is totally reasonable and achievable with recipes like this. For these little darlings, you don’t even have to temper the chocolate -unless you are a glutton for punishment and just want to. I used the Original flavored pretzels from Pretzel Crisps® for a few reasons. First, they are adorable and I love how they are flattened -it makes for a better bite! But I also love the low calories & zero fat/transfat/satfat health benefits. I buy my Pretzel Crisps® in the deli section of Publix, but you can even pick up a bag on amazon if you are feeling extra lazy!

These Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites don’t even have to be refrigerated and are perfect for the upcoming summer BBQs. …just whip up a batch and let your guests dive in!

They look fabulous…and my go-to snack for the last 20 years has been Triscuits with a big smear of PB. Not that far off from the pretzel crackers you used. Sometimes I’ll put chocolate chips on top the PB. And I love what you just said about not making every.single.thing from scratch or making a big production out of everything. 100% agreed!!!

Great minds think alike! The other night I was desperate for a snack and had a big bag of those pretzel crisps from Sam’s Club, and made sandwiches with peanut butter. Now if only I had some chocolate to dip them in 😉

I LOVE these, I have made them over and over again and are always my #1 requested treat! I’ve never tried them with pretzel crisps though. I love that idea Jessica! Sweet + salty, I never go wrong with these chocolate covered pb pretzel bites!

Here I am trying to forget about the chocolate chips I have sitting in my freezer (I think if they are frozen I am less likely to eat them, does not work) and I see something like this! You are killing my self control…

[…] handle cranking up my oven when it’s over 90 degrees outside. Last week I made those Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites that require only a microwave…and now we have Cake Batter Truffles that are just as […]

There is no way I could “smash” a one inch ball of dough between the pretzels, they are so thin and delicate that they just cracked
Added a bit more butter and peanut butter, then made dough patties which worked just fine between the pretzels.
Thanks for the great recipe!
